SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 11, 2025 - Chelsea Piers deepens 28-year partnership with Life Fitness to bring cutting-edge cardio innovation to Manhattan
Chelsea Piers, a leader in premium fitness and sports experiences, has announced the expansion of its longstanding partnership with Life Fitness to outfit its newest location—Chelsea Piers Fitness Flatiron—with the ultra-premium, immersive cardio series, Symbio™. This strategic move marks a new chapter in a 28-year collaboration and introduces a transformative fitness experience to New York City.
Next-Level Cardio Arrives in Flatiron
The decision to incorporate the Symbio™ cardio line into the Flatiron Club follows the product’s recent debut at IHRSA 2024, the international fitness industry’s flagship event in Los Angeles. At the event, Chelsea Piers and Life Fitness officially signed the agreement to bring the innovation-packed equipment to the new facility.
“After seeing the new cardio collection at the Life Fitness Innovation Lab at IHRSA 2023, David Tewksbury, our managing partner, and I knew that Symbio had to be a part of our next club,” said Greta Wagner, Executive Vice President of Chelsea Piers Athletic Club and Senior Vice President of Chelsea Piers Management. “The simplicity and elegant design will be a beautiful addition to our fourth, spectacular club in the New York City area.”
A Full-Body, Personalized Workout Experience
The Symbio™ series—comprising the Symbio Runner, Incline Elliptical, SwitchCycle, and Recumbent Cycle—was developed with a focus on premium cardio performance and biomechanical innovation. These machines adapt to individual movements, delivering a seamless, body-first exercise experience.
“Our new Symbio series is truly fitness reimagined, and it will elevate the workout experience for Chelsea Pier Athletic Club’s diverse membership base,” said Amber Roberson, Vice President and Managing Director, Life Fitness. “It’s no surprise that our first Symbio sale in New York is with Chelsea Piers, which is known for providing top-of-the-line fitness experiences.”
With installation scheduled for mid-summer, all four Symbio machines will be integrated into the Flatiron Club’s lineup, ensuring members gain access to the latest advancements in immersive fitness technology.
A Legacy of Excellence and Innovation
Chelsea Piers has evolved into a beacon of dynamic health and fitness culture across the region. The Flatiron Club will be its fourth location in the New York City area and continues the brand’s mission to redefine the gym experience with smart design, community-oriented spaces, and best-in-class equipment.
In the Flatiron Club, 50% of all cardio equipment will come from the Symbio line, while 80% of the facility’s overall training solutions will be supplied by Life Fitness brands—including Hammer Strength and ICG. In addition to supplying equipment, Life Fitness will provide staff training and ongoing performance evaluations, ensuring the highest quality member experience from day one.
